“We were able to get to the building and our officers immediately went to the suspect and take him down,” said UNCC Safety and Security Chief Jeff Baker.
Trystan Terrell, 22, was quickly taken into custody.
“He said nothing,” Baker said, referring to the suspect. “Our officers’ actions definitely saved lives, there’s no doubt about that.”
